The LOST SAVED.

The LOST SAVED.
Mr.. ]. A. Gwaltney of the vicinity Of
Alexander's brought to our Office yester-
day an account of sales made at the
Farmers Warehouse of lot of "prim-
ings" frc N three acres This Is portion
Of the tobacco crop usually practically
wasted or thrown away. Mr.. Gwaltney
was wise enough to take hold of Shows
Patent Barn Process, being the first in
his neighborhood to apply it. The result
was to enable him as the outcome Of the
usual waste from three acres to realize
the following prices: 4, 6, 1S4, %, 2l4,
40, Sc, 81, 81, bringingtroEs SIP so or an
average, per hundred, of a fraction over
Is dollars.
This is a startling result. 1t shows the
value of little things. This is the real
source of profit: Here, in crop oftwen.
ty-five acres will probably be clear gain
of $500 by wise care Of waste, and turn
ing it to usa.

THE EXECUTION OF THE ANARCHISTS To.
DAY.
Unless the Governor commutes the
sentence or grants a reprieve, the an
archists of Chicago will be hanged to-
day. 1t is the most extraordinary occas-
ion in the annals of American jurispru
dence, and of American society. 1t far
surpasses in all its surroundings and
bearings, the John Brown escapade in
Virginia. What the finale may be, the
future alone caa develop. To-day, how
ever, the majesty of law, of order, of the
integrity of society, is vindicated. The
CITIZEN this morning contains much in
formation bearing upon this startling
affair, giving events down to last night.
Tomorrow the CITIZEN will give very full
details of the hanging, and OF incidents
connected Herewith, as well as any other
that may occur in Chicagoin connection
Herewith. Extra copies may be had at
the bookstores or this Office. Orders for
extra copies should be left at this Office
during the day.

THANKsGIvING AT THE HOSPITAL
We publish the following appeal with

We publish the following appeal with
pleasure:
The Board of Managers of Mission
Hospital passed resolution at their last
regular meeting to request collection
from each congregation in the city, also
to ask all the children of the city to go
to the hospital on tho afternoon of
Thanksgiving Day at half past three o.
clock, each carrying pound of some
ing or donation in money. The ladies
earnestly beg that this may be general
thins-that every one carry or send on
Thanksgiving Day some testimonial of
interest in the undertaking. If the
weather is too bad on Thanksgiving Day
for the children to go out let them 60 the
first bright day after.
1t was a kindly thought on the part of
the benevolent ladies who have taken
upon themselves the laborious and some
what thankless duties of watching over
the welfare of the sick and suffering to
take their pleasures or their comforts into
active consideration at that period when
the private household is the scene of
feaEting or merriment or social enjoy
msnt, and to bring to those isolated from
IL,
some ofthose agencies which may tighten
their darkness and prove to them they
are not all forgotten. The human heart
never comes so near the celestial ideal
as when it opens to others share in the
JOY it feels amid its own happy surround
ingS, and when it recognizes that univ
ersaI brotherhood of man which brings
all on the same plane ofhumanity The
good gifts that a generous Providence
pours upon the rich, the happy and the
healthy are only in trust that the poor,
the unhappy and tho firm may have
their share of that which the more for
tunate are only the dispensers.
Let the appeal therefore reach every
heart and open every purse. Let the
light of a Thanksgiving morning illumine
the apartment of the sic K and the sutf-r-
ing that they may feel that the same sun
shines over all, and that one warm heart
beats in all the human family.
The sincereSt thanksgiving is that
which illustrates Ggenerous emotions
Of the heart4fnd which embraces in their
WarmtRthe sad conditions of want and
1liHder1ng and prompts thinkful relief of
the same.

GARDINER,

The cause OF the fire on Autumn street
Monday evening, is mystery, as there ha,
been no fire known to be near the spot dur
ing the day, and had it not been for two nv
Grants situated within some twenty rods OF
the spot, together with the prompt arrival OF
the hose companies and apparatus, probably
It would Rave been more serious than it was
The house was quite large two story edifice
occupied by Dr. c. S. Jackson, the owner,
wife and daughter. and Mrs. Ames, who
had rooms on the second floor, and who first
discovered the flames and gave the alarm,
upon returning to the house after about ten
minutes abeence. DR.. Jackson and family
were spending the evening socially at
the house of some friends when the alarm
was given. The fire was first discovered
near, or at, the roof in a corner of the outer
l. and at spot far removed from anv stove,
or fireplace and no lamp or light of any kind
had been known to have been near the spot
during the evening. DR.. Jackson was in
sured for $500 on buildings and $500 on
furniture and wearing apparel, in the Hart
ford Fire ms. Co., through Maxey's agency,
and estimates his loss at considerably above
that figure. Mrs. Ames had 5000 in A. L.
Bangs office; loss not ascertained.
The steam tug Charlie Lawrence has been

full than ever before.

from his tour of observation through the
